Because they were held In th school buildings, which have an au? thority and appeal. Because every agency in the district was asked to help in the work. 2. Because the districts were limited so that the mothers could easily walk to the school. 3. Because the nurse visited the mothers constantly. When a mother was missing from a class the nurse Immediately called to find out the cause. 4. Because of the Interest time and sympathy given by the doctors. 5. Because the nurse was at the school every day at the sams hour to receive visits. Because the same nurse was kept In the same district so that ehe was known by every one in the district. 6. Because the nurse made her visits to the home long enough to give valuable Instruction and to ex? plain the object and gain to the mothers in coming to the conferences. 7. Because the nurses themselves went to charitable and fresh-air dis? pensaries and hospitals with the mothers when necessary. 8. Because the nurse aroused a feeling of Interest and /curiosity among the mothers to hear what the doctor would talk about at the next meeting, and to know how much the baby had gained. 9.

There Is a growing feeling In this country that sixteen years Is too long a period to expend on purely general education and that the results obtain? ed do not warrant the expenditure of so great amount of time and money. It has been shown beyond question that large numbers of children are leaving the schools at an early age with an utterly Inadequate prepara? tion for life, thus Increasing an? nually the number, not merely of the unemployed, but of the unemploy? able. In the public schools of this coun? try nearly every other essential point has been touched upon?health, san? itation and recreation have all had their share of attention?but in the matter of actual training for the real work In life the pupils go out Into the world after sixteen years' tuition al? most as unequipped to make a live? lihood (save In one or two already overcrowded professions) as when he or she entered the first grade, It Is suggested that there should be three lines of education open to the pupil aftsr the sixth or the seventh grade; (1) the present high school; (2) business or commercial school; (3) factory and tiade schools. The rural sections of the country, as well as cities and industrial centers, need such schools. Instead of edu? cation's dissevering country children from rural life and farm work, it should rather fit them to appreciate it, teach them that they can bring aa much science and metallty to the cultivation of land and the manage? ment of the farm as to any other profession.?Editorial in The Delin? eator for January.

An Appreciation of Hart, Schaffner & Marx. From the New York Daily Trade Record, Dec. 20. In every field of human endeavor there are namos that stand out above all others. Whenever a particular industry or art is mentioned, certain names at once come to mind as the essence of that especial branch of human effort. We inevitably associate Stephenson with the locomotive; Fulton with the steamboat; Morse with the tele? graph; Bell with the telephone; Edi? son with electricity; W'rlght with fly? ing machines; Carnegie with steel; Tiffany with jewelry; Marshall Field and John WTannamaker with dry goods. These great names are for? ever linked with the trade or indus? try in which their preeminence made them world-famous. Now, if one in the clothing indus? try were asked to name a manufac? turing firm that is thus most inti? mately associated in people's minds with the rise and fame of that great American Industry, would he not in all fairness naturally name Hart, Schaffner & Marx? Lofty ideals, keen foresight, won? derfully perfect organization, cour? age and the power of matchless pub* Ucity have made their name and clothing almost synonomous to the trade, and nearly so to the consum? ing public. The name and repute of this great Chicago house is indelibly emblazoned in the history of the clothing Industry. Why does the name of Hart. Schaffner & Marx occupy so promi? nent a place In the Hall of Fame of the clothing trade? The answer is simple. They have earned It. There is no other way through which this honor may be gained. You will find prominent in the rec? ords of all those who have attained supremacy in any chosen field these two essential qualities?brains to conceive and the courage to execute. Some 15 years ago Hart, Schaffner St Marx saw both the weakenesses and the possibilities of the clothing industry. They saw a trade disorganized; ideals not very high; crude methods of nuWioltv ?nd in nwnv directions comparatively crude, methods of manufacture and ot "tecutvc ?rgan I Igatlori and dlstj itlonj ! or-> of t* popular mtodes of pub? licity amonf plothleri l?L {ho?v days wan to have a lads cornetii** seated Oh a rude improvised platform a. ihn ; entrance to the *tore, playing music in the effort to attract the sersby. Hart. Schaffner & Marx realized j "that nobody will pay you any more respect than you pay yourself;" that if the ready-for-service clothing in? dustry was to become dignified and men of means and refinement were to be numbered among its customers such methods must be abando- d as quickly as possible. The Chicago house from the first took the position that "there is no reason why the clothing business shouldn't bo done with as much dig? nity as the baking business," and to? day it is so done by hundreds of rep? resentative wholesale and retail houses In the trade. As the firm said in one of its recent advertising book? lets to the retail trade: "The cloth? ing business in general has become, In these days, a high-toned business, due to steady Improvement of the quality of the goods, and a growing appreciation of the value of liberal methods of doing business." Hart, Schaffner & Marx were among the first?if not the first?to have a regular advertising man. And what a step in advance he was. Unit? ing the culture of the university man with the practical knowledge and touch of the man of the world, his methods plpetritleU the trade. Here I was an ad-man, writing about colth ing with all the charm and culture and truth of an Addison discussing the most elegant subjects of human life. Here were Illustrations made by artists of international reputation. This combination of the literary with the artistic and the sincere started a new epoch In the clothing industry, whose Influence has undoubtedly had very much to do with placing it on the high plane It now occupies. The booklets issued by Hart. Schaffner & Marx have been prized as much for their literary and artis? tic charm as for their trade news, and the broad views therein express? ed, which have done so much to up? lift the industry. And so through the appeal of the work of this big clothing house, and of the others which have from time to tlmo made the same high effort, ready-to-wear clothing has become as much an attraction to \hc man of culture and means as to the mechan? ic and the clerk. The clothing In? dustry has entered into a wider, higher field, and today no man is too rich, no gentleman too refined, that he may not fitly apparel himself with product. j T? Is li rd ti overestimate the In I fluenc? to rard 'Iiis splendid develop* ment In the industry of the many generous advertisements which Hart. Schaffner & Marx, the pioneers, and other leading clothing manufactur? ers have from time to time publish? ed in the leading magazines and pa? pers of the country. The great value of this work to the trade can only be compared with that which the firm has done through its frequent and conspicuous state? ments direct to the trade of its wise, courageous and inspiring attitude on such vital questions as "all wool", mercerized, etc., etc. It is, indeed, not too much to say that the advertising of Hart, Schaff? ner & Marx has had a refining and uplifting influence on advertising methods throughout the country. Not alone in the clothing trade, but in every trade, has their influence been felt. They were the first firm in the country to associate art with com? merce. Renowned artists have done some of their most unique and effec? tive work for Hart, Schaffner & Marx. They were first to get out of the beaten track of advertising medi? ocrity and to employ the finest art? ists in the land to make their pub? licity what they realized it ought to be. They were the pioneers in mod? ern advertising. And yet the firm has been over modest in its claim of fair credit for the work done. Note the following extract from their last booklet to the retail trade; "No better indication of the avoidance of clap-trap in the clothing trade to-day can be found than t. look through the newspapers of the country and a study of the clothing advertising of the present day. You cannot fall to notice a gen erally better tone in the advertising in its appearance, its statements, its general spirit. "Some still prefer the circus-post? er, blackedface capital letters: and some still think that it's neccessary to crowd a catalogue of the entire stock Into one small advertisement; but the tendency to sanity, and dig? nity, and businesslike simplicity in advertising is growing stronger. In ths development of clothing adverti? sing to a higher grade, we feel that our work, especially that which we send out to our customers to use, has been a great influence for good."
